hrtbrk Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 War has begun as six factions fight to own the obelisk! Head to the Battledome to take on the first set of enemies now. This set has two achievements to unlock in this stage:Dapper 'DomeHave your pet wear a hat or wig, and win a battle.Stick 'Em With the Pointy End.Equip any item.

Bubbleline Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 *screaming* I'm so excited. I'm mostly excited because the Sway leader used my word! She wants to 'defenestrate' the enemies! Yes, I'm just sitting here geeking out because of a coincidental usage of the same words. Don't judge me. On another note, I'm so relieved that the enemies are easy for now. It looks like this really will be like the Altador Cup with us being against the other factions, probably trying to defeat the bd opponents as many times as possible to decide how we fare against the other factions.

oowowaee Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Dapper 'Dome - Unknown, Will update accordingly. I got a random event to beat Amateur Insider 7x. Prize was Neovian Fashion History. Edit: Err, actually, I guess I got a "Cursed Coffee Service" from completing the random event. The completion of the achievement was coincidental :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adris Undead Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I got the Dapper Dome achievement by winning erm.. once or twice, sorry I didn't check after the first one. the prize for me was the book "Neovian Fashion History" so I guess it's the same for everyone and yaaay! I'm sooo happy too :D It's been sooo long since the last war!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ...and the battledome is moving with the blazing speed of a charging postal worker. Big surprise. Looks like the new opponents have access to faerie abilities as well. That's going to scramble some strategies. They seem pretty glitchy right now, though; when the pilferer uses Shade, it tells me that I used it, and it appears to block all damage to the Pilferer.

Sakeru_Kyori Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well that was easy and fast :) everything is complete including the purple bar thing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleline Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 For the Stick 'Em With the Pointy End achievement, all you have to do is equip an item. Doesn't need to be anything specific. Doesnt even need to be a weapon. BTW is it just me or is the title of this achievement a reference to Jon Snow/Arya in A song of ice and fire/game of thrones? hrtbrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addielynn Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've equiped weapons, won two battles, jabbed with a sword, and wore a wig and have not gotten either achievement. What am i doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bandit Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yes it is a Game of Thrones reference! Made me so happy! Jon gives Arya her sword needle, and says 'First lesson: Stick 'em with the pointy end!' However, not so happy that the site seems to be majorly not coping with the plot. And this is normally the quietest time of the day :O They saeriously need some more servers / better bandwidth or something...

mishalunchbox Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I guess i'm the only one for whom the Battledome (and pretty much the entire site) totally isn't working. I wonder if it's my Mac or my Chrome? Those who are able to Battle: what browser are you using, and on what platform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addielynn Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 my chrome is not working either so i am using firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've equiped weapons, won two battles, jabbed with a sword, and wore a wig and have not gotten either achievement. What am i doing wrong? Since the site is running very slowly, all I can suggest is to keep trying. We tested these ourselves (one achievement didn't unlock until they put on a hat/wig; the other worked by equipping any item) and they worked.

deadninja6 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I hate to admit, I've never been in a Neopets war before, but this is really fun.:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireia Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I got a faction challenge, I had to fight a specific faction. Anyone else got one? Edit: This is the challenge And the reward It's been two times now, wonder if I got to get one challenge for each faction...

Mouseykins Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Our NC Mall guide for the Luminous Casks is now live! I'm excited to get started with all this battling but I must sleep soon. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addielynn Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 woot i got them now. Ok so does anyone know if we have to fill that "doing your part" bar up daily or is it during the entire course of the war? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE. Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yay! I'm so happy this war is finally starting! Is anyone getting Faerie Bottles as prizes? I have a few in my SDB but need nps for codestones so I need to sell any I get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoEternal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The site is moving so slowly! I hope there's a bit more to this plot than just fighting. I guess that would be alright, but I was hoping for a...you know plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whattawiseguy Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 If we complete all achievements and fill the bar... can we still get more plot points at the end by continuing to battle? And if so, is there a cut-off ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sannah Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I didn't get a faction challenge - cool that! I don't think by filling up the purple bar we have done our part for the rest of the war - I'm assuming that's going to be a daily thing, and it will get harder as well. They don't want everyone to easily get the maximum amount of plot points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomancer Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 As expected, the Battledome server is grinding to a halt. I predict A LOT of frustration in this plot. Bodhi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoEternal Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I got two challenges, and both were to best a certain opponent a given number of times. The TDN guide states that there are time limits on the challenges, which leads me to believe there are two kinds of challenges. Has anyone else gotten non-timed challenges?
